Gov. Steve Beshear, chatting at Friday’s Kentucky Oaks, said he likes Orb for his Kentucky Derby 2013 pick, because he has been getting “a lot of buzz.”

But he said he might also bet on Revolutionary, ridden by Calvin Borel, and Goldencents, joking that “you can’t bet against Rick Pitino” who is an owner of the horse and recently took the University of Louisville men’s basketball team to a national championship.
